I don't see that you have a user resource for the www-data user. What
you've defined above is a group resource. It's common to have a group
and a user by the same name, but they aren't the same thing: on most
unix OSes, groups are configured in /etc/group, and users in
/etc/passwd.
When you run useradd manually, you are creating the user. If you write a
user resource in your manifest, like
user { 'www-data': ensure => present, uid => 48, gid => 'www-data' }
that would also create the user. You'd also want your service resource
to require User['www-data'] as well as Group['www-data'].

I believe the www-data user is common in Debian and derivatives (eg
Ubuntu). - Ah, I see the references to CentOS in the manifest. *shrug*
